I have been overweight my whole adult life outside of a few months here and there. I've always made excuses of why I can't work out and why I eat the way I do and I am finally sick of it. I have nobody to blame but myself for being as heavy as I am. My biggest problem is that I don't see myself as "overweight". I'm almost 300 pounds and even my doctors are shocked when they see the number on the scale because I don't look like I weigh that much. I don't have a bad self image - I'm happy and fun and I have a great boyfriend and lots of friends. I just love food - I love the different textures and tastes and how flavors feel on my tongue. I'm not a big sweet eater but love to have 2 plates of dinner - but not anymore. I finally did have a heart to heart with myself and realized that I cannot be this heavy anymore. I love to exercise and get hot and sweaty and feel the "burn" and I have to quit making excuses about why I can't. Everyone has a busy schedule and they make time to go workout. It must be a priority to eat healthy and exercise. I don't want my son or my boyfriend's girls to be overweight because they see the way we eat. Healthy food can be delicious and quick and satisfing. I will be 175 shortly!
